SOG CR rooms - people who stayed already how did you like them?

[CapeCod95]

I've got SOG CR room reservations in December and would like to find out how people who've stayed there in the first few weeks its been open liked them. How are the rooms set up, does the room come with a mini fridge and are there hair dyers? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

I don't know, but here's a bump up from page 2.

What does CS mean?

would like to know what a CS room is.

I think CapeCod may mean CR - Contemporary Resort, since SOG reservations are being sent there.

Sorry - I did mean CR / Contemporary Resort. Thanks

Well then, they do have hair dryers

I think the fridge situation is the same as most resorts. They charge a small nightly fee. But now that your post has a new title, you should get more responses from people who have stayed in the "SoG wing"

Just returned about 10 days ago from a SoG/CR stay. They to have hair dryers. The mini-fridges are $10 ($10.60 w/tax) a day. Worth it to my family. The rooms are large, however, about 4 feet shorter than SoG. There is no partition blocking off the day bed and table.

Bathrooms are a good size. The toilet area is in a separate room from the shower. Some of the toilet areas have just a vanity, while others have an extra sink in them.

Only the 1st floor has balconies. This is very deceiving from pictures & just from looking at the building. All rooms have sliding glass doors to open, just not a balcony. I am pretty sure that the garven views face the playground. This is very nice if you have children that can use this. We were on the 2nd floor and our children were old enough that they could go to the playground themselves, while we watched them from our rooms.

We requested to be near the main building also so we were close to the Food & Fun Center. Once again, our children were old enough that they could go get their own drinks or play in the arcade. We got the refillable mugs & thought they were well worth it.

Very, very convenient to MK. I recommend taking the walkway to & from the Kingdom. It was a 7 minute walk for us from the gate of the Kingdom to the door of our room - shorter than the monorail even. Even though we had a car we took the monorail to Epcot - also very convenient & relaxing.

Housekeeping was a little lax at the beginning of our stay, but after a few complaints it was better. We were spoiled by the special housekeeper we had in FW the last few years.

The pool was a little busy. Seems like a lot of pool hoppers that get off the monorail. They should actually have more chairs & tables w/umbrellas for the size pool it is.

All in all we liked the CR. In fact, we already have our ressies booked for next year. A SoG relocation again.

I think you will enjoy. We did. Oh, if you get a room that faces the playground & the lake you will be able to see the water pageant every night. Very pretty!!

My wife wants to know if there are washer/dryer facilities in the Shades of Green wings at the CR? Also, is there a coffee pot in the rooms? Thanks.

The North Garden Wing of the CR does have a laundry on the 2nd floor.

 

[MELSMICE]

The laundry is directly across from 7210 because that is the room we stayed in. It was close enough to the main building & faced the playground, so I would say any room near there on that side of the building would be a good one. If you want to be close to the laundry stay on the 2nd floor.

Even though we were right across from it, it was not loud. The nice thing was, I could look out the peephole of the door to check & see if the dryer was done!!!!!

No coffee pot, but I heard you could request one. If you get a refillable mug you don't need a coffee pot, that is included with the beverages.
